Rap: Always gotta be one step ahead You know where you're lying when you make your own bed You'll never end up in the red So watch your step, one step ahead Intro: Energy up! Bring the energy up! Verse: Steppin' on toes is a common routine Sneakin' up from behind You won't get anywhere Dancin' out of time If you're living up to expectations You may as well be dead Gotta go - gotta go for it Always gotta be one step ahead So - Chorus: Don't calm down Bring the energy up Don't depend on lady luck Can't walk - you just run instead If you want to be one step ahead Verse: Look over your shoulder And predict what's to come You're not feeling life if you're simply numb So don't be dumb - grab the brass ring You really can't depend on anything Gotta make it happen all by yourself Why rely on anyone else? Chorus: Don't calm down Bring the energy up Don't depend on lady luck Can't walk, you just run instead If you want to be one step ahead Don't calm down Bring the energy up Don't depend on lady luck Can't walk - why not run instead? If you wanna be one step ahead Bridge: This dream is holding me tight Keeping me up all night Oh it's not out of reach - just out of sight Do you think I'll get it? Think I may, say I might Oh, this dream is holding me tight Keeping me tossing and turning It's not out of reach, just out of sight Do you think I'll get it? With the way I'm burning I just might It's time to rap - Rap: Always gotta be one step ahead You know where you're lying when you make your own bed You'll never end up in the red So watch it Don't calm down, bring the energy up You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it
